How did this come about? Although she has had a famous career in the movies and was part of some of the highest-profile titles to be rolled out of studios in recent years Hathaway is almost like those gals I won’t name who are famous for being famous. She’s just not Alice in Wonderland…-ish. She lacks that very specific characteristic exhibited by her cast-mates: a little eccentricity, a penchant for evil shenanigans. Boy, Hathaway is a strange casting choice.
